University extended their losing streak to 11 on Monday, dropping them down to 6-18. They lost 16-3 to the Costa Mesa Mustangs. The Trojans were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Mustangs apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in March of 2018.
University saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Lucas Haun, who went 2-for-4 with two doubles and one run.
As for Costa Mesa, their victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 21-6. They might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten games by six runs or more this season.
On Costa Mesa's side, Wylan Rottschafer was incredible, going 4-for-5 with one home run, four runs, and five RBI. Those five RBI gave Rottschafer a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Ben Quintero, who went 1-for-2 with one home run and two runs.
Looking ahead, University is taking a road trip to take on Claremont at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Wolfpack's pitching crew has only allowed 3.7 runs per game this season, so the Trojans' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Costa Mesa, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Pacifica Christian at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Mustangs 2.5, the Tritons 3.5) so any runs scored will be well earned.
